Chapter 273: Chapter 261: The Soul Hosting Device and the Curse Dream, Ancient Dao Instrument Embryo, Must Obtain! (3/3)

Spirit’s expectations were not in vain; the Attribute Panel indeed had identified the information of this pot, and it was extremely detailed.

[Soul Hosting Device (Empty): Soul Hosting Pot, used to host split spirits when gods from Otherworld descend, hard to destroy due to its special material, and mysterious because of its divine involvement.]

[Hint: The Soul Hosting Device is anointed by gods, independent of technology, Martial Arts, magic, and the Demon Clan’s system.]

[Hint: When placed in the Divine Altar, it can attract the descending split spirit of the god.]

[Warning! The Demon Clan worshipping the Soul Hosting Pot was slaughtered, infuriating the Otherworldly gods, who transformed their residual resentments into Curse Dream Power embedded in the Soul Hosting Pot. Those who slaughtered the clan and touch the pot will fall into the Curse Dream!]

[Curse Dream: Negative state - Curse, entangled with Curse Dream Power, pursued by the Curse Dream’s Spirit in dreams. Kill the Curse Dream’s Spirit or wait for the Curse Dream Power to be exhausted to be freed from the Curse Dream.]

[Hint: The curse is a double-edged sword. Those who kill the Curse Dream’s Spirit will receive a reward, while those killed by the Curse Dream’s Spirit will have their will crushed and souls dispersed!]

Chu Feng contemplated the attribute column that now showed [Negative State: Curse Dream, Duration: 1 hour]on the panel.

No wonder those warriors were plagued by nightmares; it turned out that an evil god from a different race had played a foul trick, secretly embedding a curse inside the pot.

Unlike him, who barely touched it and immediately withdrew, only getting a slight touch, which would dissipate after an hour, they must have been in contact for a long time, deeply imbued with the curse’s power.

This led them into a long-term Curse Dream, being pursued by the Curse Dream’s Spirit for years. No wonder their mental state was deteriorating, being chased in dreams day after day; it would drive anyone insane.

Just why they’re unwilling to speak about it, I wonder—perhaps the curse prohibits them from revealing it?

It doesn’t matter; that’s not the point!

Chu Feng’s gaze moved to the second hint, and his eyes slightly brightened.

[Hint: When placed in the Divine Altar, it can attract the descending split spirit of the god.]

This mechanism... is simply brilliant!

...

Chu Feng had been pondering for quite some time; Zheng Bo, who had been waiting, could not help but ask out of curiosity, "Well, did you find out something?"

Chu Feng glanced at him and said with a vague smile, "It seems like something I’ve read about in some book; I have a bit of an impression. But maybe I’m mistaken."

Shaking his head, he considered the Soul Hosting Pot as a backup and continued walking.

Zheng Bo shrugged, seeing that Chu Feng didn’t want to talk further, he didn’t ask again and quickly caught up, casually describing the items on the shelves as he followed him.

Walking along, they touched thick layers of dust but didn’t encounter anything else identifiable, until turning around a corner, Chu Feng suddenly stopped.

A hint lit up in his eyes:

[Ancient Dao Instrument Embryo (Dormant): Marquis King Armor, possessing traits: Heart-compatible, Hidden Arms, Gold Firm, Self-Repairing]

[Hint: A peak masterpiece of ancient arms and armors forging, already possessing the conditions to become a Daoist Tool. It lacks Martial Dao True Meaning within but can recognize an owner once heart-aligned with limitless wonderful uses.]

[Hint: Buried in an ancient tomb for over two thousand years, the Yuan Force contained in the battle armor has been almost entirely lost, and it has fallen into slumber, needing a vast amount of energy to be activated.]

Chu Feng looked down to see his fingers touching a dusky piece of Jade Halberd, as if it were casually tossed onto the shelf after being dug up from the earth, inconspicuous in the least.

But in that moment, his heart couldn’t help but start pounding excitedly, and a voice roared within him: I must get this item!

This is the real jackpot!

This inconspicuous Jade Halberd is actually a dormant, top-quality Daoist Instrument Embryo with four traits!

No doubt the logistics masters of the Demon Extermination Army hadn’t realized the marvel of this item, thus casually discarding it here, giving him the chance to become the legendary fated one.

Additionally, the information revealed in the hints also surprised Chu Feng.

Could it be that over two thousand years ago, ancient Longhua was able to manufacture Taoist-level armor?

He remembered his high school textbooks mentioning that before the Demon Realms descended upon Blue Star, Martial Arts indeed already existed, but at that time, the Innate Warriors were already at the peak of Martial Arts, the most powerful beings on Blue Star.

It wasn’t until the Demons invaded and the worlds collided that the upper limit of Martial Arts seemed to suddenly open, unleashing terrifying power.

A large number of Martial Arts powerhouses emerged from that time and quickly became one of the most powerful forces on Blue Star, driving the Demons back to their domains and reclaiming the lost land in bloody battles.

But the information in the hints completely overturned this conclusion!

Taoist-level, even just an embryo, is not something that Innate-Level warriors could produce, could it?

Could it be that more than two thousand years ago, Martial Arts was not as weak as it was a hundred years ago, but was capped by the Grotto Heaven Realm?

So the now flourishing and prosperous Martial Arts, was not, as the textbooks stated, only starting to grow stronger from a hundred years ago, but was actually experiencing a revival?

Why had the prospering Martial Arts of ancient times degenerated to the situation a hundred years ago, where the mountains had no tigers, and the Innate became grandmasters?

...

In a short time, Chu Feng thought about a lot.

However, he soon moved his finger away discreetly and continued forward.

Since he often paused to closely observe certain areas, Zheng Bo did not notice his abnormality and was easily fooled by him.

After making a round and confirming that there was nothing more to collect, Chu Feng retraced his steps. When he approached the vicinity of the Jade Halberd, he suddenly stopped.

He picked up the Jade Halberd to fiddle with and curiously asked Zheng Bo, "Where did this thing come from? It looks very exquisite."

"Oh, that piece of jade," Zheng Bo glanced briefly and laughed, "It was dug up from an ancient tomb at the edge of the battlefield three years ago.

"Back then, those stupid Demons didn’t know what they were thinking, they just charged out of the battlefield!"

"We humans can’t completely annihilate the Demon Clan yet because under the cover of the battlefield, hot weapons can’t be used, and the killing efficiency is too low.

"They dashed out, and that couldn’t end well, could it?

"Thousands of artillery shells fell directly on the heads of the Demon Clan, blasting them into the sky!

"At that time, the entire battlefield was filled with the smell of barbecued meat, and after the battle, each of us distributed more than ten pounds of Demon Beast flesh. The commander let us eat to our heart’s content!"

Zheng Bo recalled that scene and unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Chu Feng rolled his eyes, "Zheng, what about the ancient tomb?"

Zheng Bo came back to his senses, scratched his head, and laughed, "Got carried away, off-topic!

"At that time, an artillery shell fell way off target, missing the Demons, but it blew open an ancient tomb!

"After the battle during cleanup, the tomb was discovered, and the entrance of the underground palace had collapsed.

"Being in a state of war, it was impossible to bring scholars from afar to the battlefield for an excavation, so our army requested instructions from the regional government and immediately began a rescue excavation.

"The items were handed over to the regional museum, but some items with special fluctuations were kept by the commander.

"This Jade Halberd was one of them."
